We have to be continually reminded of what we believe. Neither this belief nor any other will automatically remain alive in the mind. It must be fed. And as a matter of fact, if you examined a hundred people who had lost their faith in Christianity, I wonder how many of them would turn out to have reasoned out of it by honest argument? Do not most people simply drift away?
C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
In a weird way, C.S. Lewis's quote from his famous book is oddly comforting. It means that I am not alone in needing a daily reminder of Christ, what He has done for me and where I am going. It means I am not alone in my need of daily grace. It means I don't have to feed myself with knowledge from my own mind, but can receive that knowledge from the Word. That to me is comfort.
